Description
12.30.2021 Audit Committee
A
A
Councillor
kennedy
welcome,
thank
you
and
I
I'm
will
you
taking
attendance.
I
need
to
let.
A
A
C
To
know
what
transpired
yeah,
you
have
to
abstain,
I
think
so,
and
chair
white
approves.
A
Thank
you
so
now
I'd
like
to
welcome
jesse
lynch
and
jesse,
do
you
want
to
take
a
couple.
C
Contributing
and
working
with
everyone
a
little
bit
of
background
I've
been
in.
C
In
the
schools
here
I
started
my
career
in
commercial,
real
estate
lending.
C
And
I
I'm
a
principal
there
and
I
chair
the
real
asset
investment
committee,
so
so
bitcoin
gold.
A
After
the
meeting
and
importantly
you're
also
a
cfa-
I
am
a
cfa
yep,
and
how
do
you.
A
Feel
that
the
cfa
contributes
to
this
process
yeah,
so
cfa
is
a
rigorous.
C
Three
test
course,
and
it's
really
focused
on.
C
Ethics
and
so
very
rigorous
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
that
and
apply
what
I
learned
there
on.
C
C
Outside
firms
interviewing
them
reeling
really
looking
to
find
out
if
their
processes.
C
Looking
at
the
process
by
which
we
hire
monitor
and
retain
them,.
A
Good,
thank
you
I
I
would
agree.
I
think
it's
I
mean
I'm
I'm
guilting
the
lily
here,
but.
A
So
I
would.
D
Great
and
as
you
know,
myself
and
counselor
kennedy
will
be
winding
up.
D
Yeah
in
two
days,
yeah,
so
thank
you
for
your
service
yeah.
You
guys
worked
hard
wow.
A
So,
interestingly,
one
of
your
neighbors,
you
said,
was
vince
lombardi,
so
you're.
A
A
Listen
and
take
notes.
I
would
hope
that
we
might
be
able
to
make
some
comments,
but.
D
I
have
a
question
I,
in
reference
to
the.
D
So
I
guess
we
don't
really
have
a
choice
there
because
they
are
still
controlling
the.
D
That
would
that
would
that
was
the
main
purpose
of
having
it
in
advance.
Yes,
so
I
just
want
to
put.
A
That
out
highlight
that.
Well,
it's
it's
a
little
confusing
because
she
she
talks
about
the.
A
A
In
addition,
might
we
expect
well,
if
I,
if
the
past
two
years
are
any.
D
I
can't
tell,
but
generally
when
the
council
is
involved,
this
was
in
your
regular
council
meeting.
D
And
at
that
time
the
the
principal
from
the
audit
firm
would
it
would
take
any
questions
or.
D
Last
year
I
did
have
questions
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
at
the
present
video.
D
So
I
would
think
at
that
time,
if
the
audit
committee
had
any
questions
that
would
be.
A
A
It's
close
to
the
liberty.
Okay,
you
know,
that's
the
whitney
yeah
smaller,
but.
A
You
a
sense
of
what
we're
talking
about,
and
I
I
have
a
hard
copy
of
it
here.
B
You
for
helping
florida,
I
really
like
the
background
and
right
now
I
don't
mean
advice.
B
But
I
I
think
that
you
know
one
of
the
things
the
community
really
needs
to
do
is
make
sure.
B
A
Okay,
so
then
item
c.
A
The
rfp,
as
it
was
sent
out,
gives
a
deadline
to
the
proposers
of
february
3rd
for
responding.
So.
A
My
hope
is
that
we'll
get
five
anyway
and
what
list
did
they
was
used
for
that.
C
Rfp
process
good
question
I
I
gave
I
collected
as
I
mentioned
at
lunch,
I
I
collected
five
cpa.
A
Firms
in
massachusetts,
I
heard
that
there
were
two
new
hampshire
firms.
Malinson,
I'm
sure
is
one.
A
Would
not
be
able
to
handle
a
reappointment
if,
if
they're
you
know
to
for
for
rotating
coverage,.
A
But
for
my
money,
that's
really
half
of
the
relationship,
the
other
half
that's
defining.
A
Is
what
what
does
the
contract
look
like,
and
I
know
last
spring
when
counselor,
huda
and.
A
And
and
we
worked
on
the
rfp,
the
real
work
started
with
the
contract
and
that
that.
A
A
A
A
Letter
is
totally
inadequate
for
for
defining
responsibilities,
so
I
am
very
interested
in.
A
D
D
We
put
out
a
new
rfp,
we
developed
the
process
for
reviewing
the
contract
because.
D
D
We
did
the
rfp,
we
went
through
the
contract
and
the
the
involvement
of
the
city
was
not.
D
D
D
Because
of
the
timing
and
when
we
came
back
and
started
looking
at
the
contract
and
we
had
been.
D
Given
a
standard
contract
to
look
at
that
usually
goes
out
with
all
kind
of
other
services.
D
D
All
the
rest
of
the
of
the
information
from
the
rfp,
so
that
it
in
my
mind,
it's
really
hard
to
just.
D
Pin
the
audit
committee
down
to
you
review
you
just
pull
it
out
of
the
air
and
say
you
you.
D
There's
a
process
here
to
pay
for
it
yeah
to
get
there
and
that
that
is
where
you
know.
D
The
chair
and
I
and
I
I'm
sure,
counselor
kennedy-
agrees,
that's
where
we're
coming
from
yeah
and.
C
C
And
contracting
oversight?
Well
that
that
has
been
the
discussion
between
the
committee
and
the.
D
Developed
the
ordinance
and
we
went,
we
went
through
all
the
whole
process
if.
D
If
you
go
back
and
yeah
painfully
go
through
all
the
meetings,
but
we
we
we,
we
developed.
D
The
the
process
and
then
the
ordinance
and
then
the
difference
between
what
was
an
interp.
D
D
Because
the
city
council
can't
be
expected
to
have
growing
all-knowing
financial
right.
D
You
know
there's
there's
plenty
to
learn
when
you're
in
city
council,
but
that
was
the
point.
D
D
D
D
Back
the
proposals
we
reviewed
them,
there
was
only
one
and
then
we
went
on
to
the
contract
right.
D
So
and
after
the
contract
from
our
perspective
was
was
done,
legal
department
generally
negotiates.
D
D
D
Doesn't
mean
they
have
to
go
with
that,
but
that
that's
the
purpose
of
the
committee.
A
Can
I
can
I
say
something:
yes,
please,
okay
is
exactly
right
everything
she
just
said.
B
I
think
where
the
disconnect
is
that
the
bottom
line
is
we've
had
the
same
auditing.
B
A
So
what
you're
pointing
out.
C
Assigned
or
selected
usually
they're
at
the
very
first
meeting
of
the
year.
Okay.
A
The
what
what
we
might
choose
to
do
with
these
minutes.
A
B
A
Please
counselor
huda
well.
D
Because
of
the
discussions
in
the
last
three
or
four
meetings,
where
the
first
statement
to.
D
Woodland
a
lot
of
committee
meetings
in
the
in
our
meetings,
yeah
generally,
the
first.
D
Overstepping
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
I
think
it
still
all
goes
back
to
the
original
intent.
D
D
Me
that
we
are
back
to
where
we
started,
and
I
don't
know
based
on
that.
If
we
need
a
a
as.
D
Counselor
kennedy
suggested
a
workshop
to
go
through
and
explain
from
a
financial.
D
Perspective
and
from
a
legal
perspective,
what
needs
to
be
done
as
far
as
keeping
the
audit.
D
So
that's
you
know,
that's
my
perspective.
I
think
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
case
where.
D
That
everybody
would
need
to
be
educated
on
this
and-
and
you
know,
come
up
on
this,
but
you
know.
D
D
Follow
and
handed
them
out
to
the
council,
and
I
I
was
hoping
with
that
information
that.
D
D
So
basically,
I
I
suggest
we
we
might
do
the
same
thing
as
a
well.
You
might.
D
As
a
committee
to
bring
them
up
to
speed
on
what
the
gfoa
is
and
the
rules
that
apply
here.
D
Plus,
adding
on
the
the
numerous
accounting
and
auditing
sasses
and
rules
and
regulations
and.
D
So,
as
far
as
that
goes,
it
is
my
opinion
and
probably
the
opinion
of
the
rest
of
the
committee.
D
That,
in
moving
through
this,
like
I
said
I
I
was,
I
was
hopeful
and
confident.
D
D
Have
a
work
session,
possibly
with
the
with
the
new
city
council
on
and
you
know,
try
to
get
a.
D
The
it
still
comes
down
to
adherence
to
the
charter
and
if
we
can,
if,
if
we
can't
achieve.
D
D
You're
going
to
get
two
new
committee
members
and
obviously
at
this
point
we
don't.
D
We
don't
know
what
their
background
is
going
to
be.
We
don't
because
we
don't
know
who
it
is,
but.
D
There's
going
to
be,
you
know,
kind
of
a
learning
curve
for
them
and
probably
for
the
for
the
rest.
D
Of
the
council
but
they're,
but
my
guess
is-
and
my
hope
is
that
the
mayor
elect
has
appointed.
D
D
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
On
you
know,
I
can
get
her
number.
I
can
try
calling
her
again,
but
let
me
call
her.
D
D
A
D
D
D
Anyway,
esther
we,
I
don't,
I
don't
know
how
much
you
heard
esther,
but
basically
we
were.
D
Just
discussing
how
to
how
to
I
guess,
get
the
new
city
council
up
on
what
the
what
the.
D
Processes
are
for
the
audit
committee
yeah,
I
I
read
most
of
it
and
then
I
got
knocked
out
yeah.
D
A
To
submit
this
material
to
the
state
of
new
hampshire,
yeah
and,
and
I
think
that
the.
A
A
Of
skinning
this
cat
to
try
to
build
a
consensus,
rather
than
so
jesse
you're
suggesting
we
go
to.
C
The
council
first
yeah
yeah
and
following
on
the
councillor's
recommendation,
I
think
I.
C
C
Question
for
chair,
so
I
I
don't
mind
amending
the
motion
to
to
meet
with
the
council.
B
To
meet
the
need,
given
our
last
meeting,
we
then
this
committee
should
go
to
the
state.
B
To
make
the
motion
to
have
the
chairman
second
degrees
discussion.
C
C
So
you're
suggesting
counselor
that
it's
a
transmission
from
the
new
committee
members.
A
So
council,
are
we
asking
for.
A
Counselor
was,
I
thought,
very
helpful
in
this
concept
of
the
work
session.
B
A
D
For
the
purpose
of
advising
them,
and
in
the
last,
especially
in
the
last.
D
Few
sessions
and
in
the
creation
of
the
rfp,
all
of
that
was
taken
away
right,
yeah.
As
far
as.
D
It
was
moved
back
to
where
it
was
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
discussed
and.
D
Okay,
you
guys
are
going
in
and
out
okay.
So
so,
let's
do
a
roll
call,
counselor
kennedy.
A
Yeah
counselor
huda.
Yes,
mr
furman,
yes,
mr
lynch,
I
have
a
question
yeah.
C
How
long
are
we
gonna
to
give
this
how
much
runway
today
yeah,
I
I'm
not
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
The
way
it
was
discussed,
it
would
be
potentially
instantaneous
if
we
got
a.
A
C
C
C
D
Okay,
can
I
follow
up
with
something
on
this,
for
this
is
for
the
community?
I
still
need
to
vote.
A
D
This
will
probably
be
critical
because,
as
the
rfp
is
out
that
the
city
staff
put
out.
D
Other
one
I
I
understand,
so
I
think
the
timing
is
going
to
be
critical
for.
D
D
Was
done
should
be,
you
know,
basically
the
the
audit
committee's
purview,
because
it
that.
D
Is
the
auditor
reporting
to
the
council
through
the
audit
committee,
not
city
staff,
so
all
of
the.
D
Steps
kind
of
need
to
be
followed,
but
I
think
it's
critical
that
the
work
session
would
happen.
A
The
third,
so
the
third
is
a
thursday.
So
what
is
that?
The
sixth?
Seventh,
that
the
that
we'll
have.
C
On
the
case
for
why
this
makes
sense
yeah
we
do
not
have
that
yeah.
D
And
if
I
might
add
something
there,
when
you
and
I
esther
would
probably
be
more.
D
D
Have
all
your
documentation
ready
to
go
ready
to
go
because
there
you
know
the
council
is
going.
D
A
And
and
just
petra
and
esther
know,
this
hawk
knows
this:
I
love
to
work
on
the
weekends.
A
Oh
that's
funny,
but
I
I
really
value
your
presence
and
speaking
of
that.
A
Then
I'd
well
I'd
also
like
to
set
up
our
next
meeting,
because
we
only
have
a
couple
minutes.
A
And
and
hopefully
we'll
have
those
two
new
council
members
on
board.
A
A
A
C
Yep,
what
day
is
that
that's
15
17.
D
Oh,
thank
you,
I'm
not
getting
that
anything.
The
only
other
thing
that
I
would
ask
is.
D
I
know
today
and
the
last
couple
meetings
we
have
not
had
any
any
public
present
to
make.
D
Any
comments,
but
that
you
would
at
put
in
your
agenda
public
comment.
If
so,
if
people
are.
D
Interested
in
coming
and
speaking,
who
would
that
be
so
that
should
go
before
roll
call.
A
D
A
D
Its
charter
exactly
right
and
that's
the
call,
that's
why
you
know
it's
very
concerning.
D
That
we're
having
to
go
through
this
again
and
we
we
went
through
it
and
we
I
mean.
D
D
D
Came
in
and
everything
went
smooth
yeah.
We
were
not
involved
as
we
should
be
in
the
audit
process.
A
Itself,
correct,
correct,
but
still
it
was.
It
was
light
years
ahead
of
where
it
was
where
it
was.
D
And
it
and
that
it
was
bringing
everything
into
compliance
so
that
that
was
my
main
goal
and.
D
Keep
in
mind
is
the
the
new
council's
first
official
council
meeting
is,
I
think,
the
24th
of.
D
January
right,
so
I
don't.
I
don't
know
where
you
are
on
dates,
but
it'd
probably
be.
A
24Th,
I
would
guess
right
right
so
sometime
I
mean
that
week
the
25th
through
the
28th.
D
And
this
would
be
a
little
bit
of
pressure.
You
could
have
at
least
an
outline
or
something
done.
D
D
In
that
in
that
meeting
so
well,
I
consider
that
now
we're
we're
after
our
hour,
but
but
it.
A
This
is
under
all
their
business.
I
guess
to
what
extent
do
you
think,
given.
D
Agenda
comes
out
yeah,
but
I
guess
you
could
make
the
request
of
of
the
mayor
since
this.
D
Is
a
critical
part
of
your
of
your
duties
that
were
assigned
to
you
by
the
council
right.
D
Auditor
that
maybe
could
be
discussed
at
that
point
in
time,
because
that
would
be
the.
